Transdermal drug delivery by coated microneedles : geometry effects on effective skin thickness and drug permeability

Although transdermal drug delivery has been used for about three decades, the range of therapeutics that are administered this way is limited by the barrier function of the stratum corneum (the top layer of skin). Microneedle arrays have been shown to increase the drug permeability in skin by severa...
